About Claudette
Claudette Gaynor is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She speaks plain language and guides clients through practical steps to feel steadier and more capable. Her style emphasizes self-acceptance and building new habits that match the life a person wants to live.
Claudette uses client-centered work to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify old thought patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and meditation practices are woven into sessions to help reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life. People who work with her can expect collaborative goal-setting and hands-on exercises between meetings. Homework and brief practices are common so progress continues outside session time.
She also provides video tutorials and resources to support learning on the days between meetings. Her practice focuses on life changes and recovery from painful events, including trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and addictions. Claudette helps clients notice internal resources and build new strategies for coping, intimacy, and career concerns.
With 19 years of experience and a Florida LMHC credential, she offers a practical, down-to-earth approach. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients who prefer remote formats. Her work aims to help people move from stuck patterns toward more meaningful daily living.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Claudette integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide action. It can help with anxiety, grief, and getting unstuck during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudette will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods that fit each person's needs. She works with clients to try techniques and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill teaching, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging supports brief reflections and ongoing practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
